Today’s transfer talk

Newcastle United are “hopeful” they’ll sign Brentford’s Christian Eriksen. Other interested clubs include West Ham, Tottenham and Brentford.

Liverpool look set to join Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea in fight for Torino’s Gleison Bremer.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be offered a chance to join Lazio.

Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona are all ready to step up their pursuit of Chelsea’s Antonio Rüdiger, whose contract expires in the summer.

List of targets for potential new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is led by Jurrien Timber, Yves Bissouma, Harry Kane and Declan Rice. But if they miss out on Champions League football (which is looking highly likely), their budget could be as low as £20m.

Erling Harland will decide on his new club within the next fortnight. Manchester City remain in pole position to sign the Norway international, but face stiff competition from Real Madrid, Paris Saint-German and Barcelona.

Sale of Benfica’s Darwin Núñez – a target for several Premier League clubs – could see the Portuguese club pass £1 billion in player sales over the last ten years.

Manchester United have already held talks to sign midfielder Enzo Fernandez from River Plate, according to South American reports.

Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata – currently on loan at Juventus – is reported to have given a “sharp no” to Arsenal after the Gunners doubled down on their attempt to sign him.

Rangers, Norwich and Swansea are all reportedly interested in signing Ross Stewart from Sunderland.

Barcelona are said to be interested in Arsenal’s Gabriel.

Not specifically transfer news, but Manchester United are looking at a backlash from players over the offer of a new contract to Paul Pogba which would see the France midfielder become the highest paid player in the Premier League.

Napoli are determined to keep Victor Osimhen this summer despite the Nigerian striker attracting interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.

If Barcelona want to sign Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, they must pay the Serie A side €100m (£83m).

Aston Villa have expressed interest in Borussia Monchengladbach’s Matthias Ginter. The centre-back’s contract expires at the end of the season. Juventus, Tottenham and West Ham are also said to be interested.

Fulham are close to finalising a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Manor Solomon, who would be a replacement for Fabio Carvalho, who is set to join Liverpool.

Representatives for Paulo Dybala have reportedly been in talks with Inter Milan.
